This announcement is aimed at those interested in starting work as a substitute within Care and Support and/or Support and Service. If you are already working as a substitute with us and wish for more shifts or training in more units, we encourage you to first speak with your nearest manager or staffing unit.

YOUR ROLE

As a substitute within Care and Support, your workdays can look very different depending on where the need is. For example, you might work in home care or at a care and nursing home, supporting elderly people with both practical tasks and personal care. You could be the one creating safety during the night in the Night Patrol or the one responding when the safety alarm goes off.

As a substitute within Support and Service, you are a support for people with disabilities in their daily lives and leisure time. You can work in group homes, service apartments, or day activities, contributing to creating safety and inclusion in people's lives. In short-term homes or leisure activities, you get the opportunity to work closely with children and young people, where your contribution makes a big difference for them and their families. As a personal assistant, you base your work on the individual's needs and wishes to create the most independent and meaningful daily life possible. You can also support people with mental health issues within social psychiatry, where the work involves everything from establishing routines to promoting social contacts. Additionally, as an escort or relief worker, you can contribute to a richer leisure time for the individual while offering respite for relatives.

Regardless of the assignment, the job is about the same thing: being there for other people so they can live their lives to the best of their ability.

Working hours vary depending on the operation and can include days, evenings, weekends, on-call nights, and/or awake nights.

YOUR COMPETENCE AND EXPERIENCE

You are a person who creates safety around you. Even when many things are happening at once, you remain calm and focus on what is most important. You find it easy to collaborate with others, but you also take responsibility and make your own decisions when the situation requires it.

You are sensitive to people's different needs and have a respectful approach. It shows that you care about others and want to contribute to creating a good day for those you meet.

It is an advantage if you have education or experience from care and support, social work, or educational activities. Knowledge of PECS (TAKK) or sign language is also a merit.

You need to have good physical fitness as the work can sometimes be physically demanding. You also need to be able to speak and write Swedish to communicate with both colleagues and the people you meet, as well as to document according to the operation's routines.

YOUR NEW WORKPLACE

As a substitute, you become part of a work team where we help each other and share knowledge and experiences. Our operations are located throughout the municipality, and you get the opportunity to work in different environments, meet many people, and develop in your professional role.
